ExeThread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
Seems to be happy now!

Not really strange, expected behaviour in fact. The Form is drawn OK but
there is no message loop running on the thread to pump messages to it so it
will be unresponsive and sit there until the thread exits. A modal dialog,
or Form shown modally, tries to pump the message queue itself, that is
Thanks for the responses. Strangely the following script works:
import clr
import time
clr.AddReference("System.Windows.Forms")
from System.Windows.Forms import OpenFileDialog, DialogResult, Form
F = Form()
F.Show()
time.sleep(5)
This displays a form and then closes it when the script ends after

otherwise the common windows controls (OpenFileDialog being one of them)
won't work correctly.
